The role is supervised by Professor Naoki Egami and focuses on methodological research at the intersection of AI for the social sciences and causal inference. The successful postdoctoral researcher will work on projects such as developing and evaluating multi-agent systems and creating statistical methods for analyzing AI-generated data with formal inferential guarantees. The postdoctoral associate will also have opportunities to pursue independent research aligned with their own interests and background, within MIT’s research environment. The appointment is based in person on MIT’s Cambridge campus and is tied to a research program that bridges political science, statistics, and computational methods. The postdoctoral associate will join a setting that combines the Department of Political Science with the Statistics and Data Science Center, supporting work that is both methodological and application-driven.
